Rohde & Schwarz launches world’s first test solution for Bluetooth® 5.1

Bluetooth SIG ratified its core specification version 5.1 in late January. Rohde & Schwarz is now launching the first test solution as a software upgrade for the R&S CMW test platform. The test solution for Bluetooth® 5.1 can be used to verify the performance of the location services that have been significantly improved with the new Bluetooth® specification.
February 28, 2019

Munich, February 26, 2019 — With the new Bluetooth® core specification version 5.1 (BT 5.1), Bluetooth® Low Energy (BLE) devices can optionally offer improved navigation services. Additional functionality for direction finding (angle estimation) using the angle of arrival (AoA) and angle of departure (AoD) methods enables position determination with accuracy down to centimeter level in both the transmit and receive direction. Previous solutions could only provide meter level accuracy. Devices with BLE 5.1 functionality are suitable for tasks such as indoor asset tracking and for navigation services at airports. Beacons are already being used to call attention to specific nearby products, sights and attractions in … Read More → "Rohde & Schwarz launches world’s first test solution for Bluetooth® 5.1"
